Hannah Hampton

Hannah Alice Hampton (born 16 November 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Women's Super League club Chelsea and the England national team.

In 2016, Hampton was recruited for the Birmingham City Centre of Excellence by then-Academy Director Marc Skinner who would later be appointed first-team manager.

[8][9] In 2018, after the departure of veteran first-choice keeper Ann-Katrin Berger, Hampton saw an increase in playing opportunities, starting 12 of the 20 WSL matches during the 2018–19 season as the Blues conceded a joint-third low 17 league goals.

The side progressed to the Elite Round, beating Germany and Poland, and drawing to Italy to top the group to qualify for Euro Finals in Czech Republic.

England were drawn against Republic Of Ireland, Netherlands and Norway but only won one of their three ties, finishing third and failing, progress beyond the group stage.

In August 2019, Hampton received her first call-up to the under-21 team by Rehanne Skinner to compete in the friendly invitational U23 Nordic Tournament which was hosted at Loughborough University.

[21] In February 2020, Hampton was called-up to the England senior team for the first time, as a training player in the traveling party for the 2020 SheBelieves Cup.

[6] On 12 October 2021, Hampton received her first competitive call-up for England's 2023 FIFA World Cup qualifying games against Northern Ireland and Latvia.

[33] Hampton again started as the no.1 for the return fixture against France on 4 June, making a "stunning" finger tip save in the 89th minute to help England secure 3 points,[34][35] followed by the 2–1 win over the Republic of Ireland on 12 July.
